The Work of the Ministry and the Ministry of Work

Posted on September 27, 2024 by RC

I give thanks for my seminary education. All that time and energy devoted to studying the Scriptures revealed, among many other things, that the Bible says not the first word about seminary. It does, however, tell us a thing or … Continue reading →

Turning the Mirror Around, Hiding From the Ugly

Posted on September 12, 2024 by RC

Not only do we remain, in ourselves, sinners, when by His grace we are declared to be saints, but we tend to be, after being born again, repenting and being indwelt by the Spirit, the same kind of sinners we … Continue reading →

Why is the evangelical church so full of pretense?

Posted on September 9, 2024 by RC

I’m no behaviorist, but I don’t need to be to understand this truth- that which you punish you get less of, and what you reward you get more of. We don’t like punishment, and seek to avoid it. We do … Continue reading →

Posted on September 3, 2024 by RC

For all the hardships connected to inflation none of us, I suspect, have found ourselves giving thanks for having the head of a donkey or dove droppings to eat. That, however, was the situation in Samaria when the Syrians laid … Continue reading →

Believers’ Loving Response to Sexual Confusion

Posted on August 27, 2024 by RC

I suspect one of the reasons that the opposition to sodomy that was once the default position of all professing Christians is in such retreat says more than we suspect. We’re now being encouraged to be silent on the issue, … Continue reading →

What’s missing from the contemporary church?

Posted on August 19, 2024 by RC

Sinlessness. That is, the weaknesses that plague the contemporary church aren’t, in the end, all that different from the weaknesses that plagued the historical church. The more things change and all that, after all. It is said that one Lord’s … Continue reading →

The Madness of the Method, or Losing the Lost

Posted on July 16, 2024 by RC

“You can’t turn back time.” “There’s no stopping progress.” It’s interesting the way we manipulate words. It’s certainly true, I suppose, that you can’t turn back time, and that there’s no stopping progress. But somehow these truisms have come to … Continue reading →

What should I expect from my local church?

Posted on July 8, 2024 by RC

It is an easy thing to grumble about the marketing mentality of so many local churches. Rather than taking direction from God’s Word we take it from sociological studies, surveys, and sage savants. What we often miss is that churches … Continue reading →
